Terminal Services desktop

I am running 4 windows 2000 server terminal servers. When a user logs in and creates a file or folder on the one server, it gets replicated to all the server desktops. I do not want any of the work that a user does to be saved on the desktop. Is there a policy that will lockdown the desktop so that files cannot be saved here? Also is there any way to stop this replication of files from one server desktop to another?
